And I mean effectively whether you use twitter for personal or business or both. Also, I would love to have some semblance of reliability that it will be here when I need it. As a free platform for users you always have a small worry it could just stop one day. Chris,

While Twitter is a great place to make new friends for some people it is about following experts and letting them feed you information in the fields of their expertize. Of course if you interact with these experts you can make friends. Twitter is also a good place to move your friends to so you can better communicate with them. Great post Chris.

Everything is going faster in the future or something unexpected will happen, a new invention (after chrome os, after the next crisis, whatever) - so i think be prepared and educate your reaction. thanks great article, i agree. my opinion is: if we think long term , its important that we don’t plan to much.

I'd add: Get on FriendFeed as a Twitter add-on/conversation deepening tool. You get the best of both worlds: Engage on Twitter and stay in the loop on everything else as well. BTW, FriendFeed means you are instantly archiving your Tweets and making them long-term searchable (not just 7 days like on Twitter Search). If you import your Twitter friends, same goes for their tweets as well. Check it out: http://FriendFeed.com/AlexSchleber Good post.

Twitter peeps worked very hard to catch everyone and return them to their nest. Luckily for the lil blue birdies in Twitter-ville there were only a few bent beaks and bruised wings, no serious injuries. I for one am glad to see Twitter-ville is alive and well to continue being perched high in the tree top with all her lil blue birdies twittering away safely in their nest. See ya there...

Although, it's a good idea never to have all one's eggs in the same basket. It's equally important to have a presence on a number of platforms/services, not just Twitter. Facebook, Friendfeed, identica to name a few. Good point. Although, it’s a good idea never to have all one’s eggs in the same basket.

Perhaps that's why teens aren't on Twitter--too many adults have taken it in a business direction for networking--at least many of those tweeps worth following have. Whatever the tool, I agree we need to nurture the relationships we have to be able to exist independent of the tools. @provirtual Interesting that you say Twitter will fare better than Facebook.

I still use LiveJournal extensively, and while I no longer seem to care about individual users as much as I do LJ communities, it's enough utility that I can still get decent responses and value from LiveJournal. But yeah... People need to realize it's the community, and not the system, that's really important. Twitter's brought me closer to my Dad and a lot of other folks, and I appreciate that.

What we need to take from this is that Twitter is the "middle-man" between building real, lasting connections between other people. Once you establish a friendship via Twitter - further friendship may ensue. Thanks! Great thoughts.
